Our projects are intended to take on some of technology’s greatest challenges and make impact on millions of users. Some of the challenges our team is working on include developing terascale solutions for understanding and interpreting user interaction signals, understanding user success with short term & long term metrics, developing algorithmically curated playlists and other challenges in machine learning and user understanding.

What You’ll Do
You will participate in cutting edge research in machine intelligence, user understanding and machine learning applications.
You will apply your scientific knowledge to analyze data, perform statistical analyses, identify problems, devise solutions and construct methodologies, including metrics and best practices, and conduct experiments to validate these.
You will work in collaboration with other scientists, analysts and engineers across Spotify to design creative solutions to challenging problems.
You will have product impact, while working on and further develop Spotify’s long-term research roadmap.
